fc

[appleseed]

as if i don't have enough random projects at various stages on my desk, i add another

this is fujimi's toghe series fc rx7. it's a pretty cool kit but it is extremly simplified... it doesn't even have brakes nor exhaust piping! however, it does come with alot of goodies such as a very different fastback option.

anyway, i made a couple of little mods and lowered it a bit. this is one kit that i think fujimi did a real good job on the wheels with. in all honesty, it was the reason why i chose this kit (other than the fact that it was by far the cheapest fc kit on the market! $10 at hlj!).

about two weeks worth of work on this thing off and on and i'm pretty happy with the results. the back end has some touching up with putty on it but that should be done soon. i might just finish this one

thanks for looking!

Not bad. DO you know what color you are going to paint it yet.

did the side fenders come like that or did you do it?

[tonioseven]

It's about time you blessed us with another fantastic build!! The fenders were modified by Appleseed

[tpliquid]

wow looks really niec!!

btw did that rear come like that or did u make it? it looks like the gp sports rx7

Great work, keep it coming!

[appleseed]

you're right! that was actually one of the pictures i found on the web that inspired the front end! but the sides of the bumper where it reaches the wheel arches were'nt to my taste. the gp sports look a bit vip-ish and that wasn't the look i wanted to go for... i also got the vent idea from another car on the web... a bn sports bodykit i believe... that looked more like what i was going for but it was way overdone with the skirts and the bumper overly exaggerated.

i wanted something to go with the smaller wheels and a bit of a streetable drifter look.

i wanted to add a small horizontal vent towards the upper half of the passenger side headlight... or make a headlight conversion to a superg type of headlight with the supplied headlight lenses... but then... i stopped myself for fear of 'overdoing it'.

i already have the colors planned out... a nice pearl white with either a black stock wing or a mid-height wing. i plan on painting the wheel centers a light gunmetal to give it a slight contrast.

tell me it WONT be wingless....

[JDM-AE86]

as he said in his post "i already have the colors planned out... a nice pearl white with either a black stock wing or a mid-height wing."

[v3rs3]

NO no wing. It will look soo much better wingless.

[86_SR5]

that stock black wing will contrast just nicely with the white paint....my bad, I over looked that post.

Nice work so far, not sure about the wheels myself.

Lets hope this gets to the finished stage !!!
